"would you like to learn one method that works all the time or several methods that work all the time?"

This would be a good place to answer that I would rather learn a single, traditional algorithm because I am less likely to become confused mid-stream AND should I become confused, a traditional algorithm has the advantage that my grandmother can help explain it without having to search the internet for examples.

Arg. I would answer that I am awesome so I can have an A. It looks like it's training for the real world with this corny "self-report." You don't want the boss to use your weaknesses against you when it comes time to fire somebody. :)

Left-brain, right-brain, and brain hemispheres

This site uses left-brain and right-brainnot as physiological terms for the actual left and right hemispheres of the brain, but as they are employed in the everyday vernacular. They appear here in the same spirit in which people use type A and type B (themselves the relics of a debunked theory about blood type and character type): an informal shorthand for certain bundles of personality traits.
